Place the Signaling Gem near the Altar of Aggonar at the Pools of Aggonar and defeat any Draenei Anchorites that respond to your summons. Return to Ryathen the Somber at Falcon Watch with the Signaling Gem after completing this task.

Description

Our scouts captured a draenei paladin at the Pools of Aggonar. He was to take part in a cleansing ritual to purify the pools. We must stop the draenei from succeeding or we will lose our supply of felblood!

He was carrying this signaling gem, looking to mark a spot where a priest - or "anchorite" as they call themselves - could perform their rituals in safety. Place the gem near the Altar of Aggonar and be ready to ambush any approaching draenei.

At 39, 40 is the altar.

Comment by Drunklight

Altar is at the south end of the pools of Aggonar, its in the water, alot of blobs around.After you use the signaling gems, 3 draeni walk toward the altar, a lvl 62 is the quest target, and 2 paladins 57-58.

pretty easy if you're a caster, 1 chain lightning crit was enough for me to kill the quest target

Comment by Cubituss

Don't worry about the crowd, in my case the quest target was killed by someone and I still got the credit for the kill. Didn't even get to see him before he died actually.

Did this easily as a 61 warrior. Cleared up to the altar, summoned them and intimidated shout the 2 on the sides. Popped recklessness and killed the main Draenei.

Comment by Enfearius

Coords are good. Draenei approached the altar from the west side. I had a 62 guarded by two 59s, not 57s. Still, they all went down real easy, especially since i did this a little late at 64. None of em hit very hard.

Comment by Zoss0

Everyone about has accurate info. I just ran up to the altar, run away from the blobs (You may want to clear a little) start blasting the Draenei Anchorite while the pallies were busy with my Stoneclaw totem. After that you can destroy the pallies, they don't hit hard and quite weak. They stun and bubble.

i did it in lvl 60 whit my hunter. it is easy i only send my pet on all of them and healed my pet. then i killd the boss(he you need to kill) and then the adds

Comment by Solimal

Soloed easily as a 61 feral druid. The Altar is at 39,40 , and placing the signaling gem summoned two lvl 59 Draenei Vindcators guarding the quest objective, a lvl 62 Draenei Anchorite.

The Anchorite has some decent nukes but not much HP - pour damage onto him and he'll die pretty quickly.

Comment by Tacheron

Lol, make sure to clear the mobs around - I had the worst of luck. Just when the party arrived, a wandering terrorfiend decided to pitch in, and since one of the mobs can throw you around, it threw me close enough to aggro a few of those oozes. Couple that with the anchorite`s hammer of justice to prevent my healing and my tauren racial stun (yeah, they actually managed to beat me to that stun), not even my 8.7k HP in bear form could help me...

Lol - I`ll remember this fumble for some time :)

Comment by savagy

The melee mobs have Hammer of Justice spell, stuns for 5 sec or so. Also, they bubble.

Comment by Syrio

I solo'd this as a 60 shadow priest... didn't take much to kill them all...

Comment by DePlex

I would advise not to be lazy and to clean the oozes and terrorfiends a bit. It won't take loads of time but will guarantee u dont wipe there.

Comment by Greyhame

I came in from the west as mentioned above and cleared everything on that side for at least 30 yds. Dropped the beacon and waited for all 3 to reach the end of there run, used Earth Shield and dropped a Mana Spring and hit them with a Chain Lightning and a Searing Totem. Killed the 62 first using Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning when it was up. Just make sure you Earth Shock his Holy Fire when he starts casting, it's actually a long cast time so if your in the middle of a Lightning Bolt you could easily finish and then Earth Shock. Killed the other 2 in the same fashion, just FF one with Lightning Bolt and throw in a Chain Lightning for the extra damage on the other to help.

Tips to use are make sure you keep up Earth Shield as they will HoJ you keeping you from popping a heal if you get too low, with Earth Shield you shouldn't ever get too low. I did have to pop a Heal once because I let Earth Shield expire for too long.

Comment by loln00blol

These guys are softies. I think it's low health, could be low armor, but they made me feel much 1337er than I actually am. Don't be afraid to take all 3 of them, even the bodyguards go down quick.

Comment by eddypet

easy lvl 51 DK but keep in mind the 2 bodyguard of the Draenei Anchorite use the pala's bubble...

Comment by Wulfy

Just destroyed it on a 61 Hunter, once you see them comming concussive shot the main guy, lay a ice trap to take care of 1 guard, get your pet on the main and lay into it with arcane and multi it wont take long, kill the 1 guard weather it be on you or pet at this time and the 2nd guard should becomming unfrozen at this time and drop him

Comment by taurenmoo812

Crazy bastard blood elf. Sure the draenei have a holier than thou attitude, but surely wouldn't stopping them be almost the same as helping the legion who your fighting against?

Some elves never learn.

Comment by lazarethrites

Funny thing. I received the quest but not the gem. I went to the altar and it was not in my bag. So I did the normal thing and abandoned the quest and went and accepted it again. But again no gem in my beg.

Has anyone experienced this? Seems like a bug in the game. Thus I am unable to complete the quest.

Thank you,

Lazareth Rites

Comment by Cozmomomo

This quest insn't very accurate.While the paladins did bubble when they started losing, they did not hearth.I was suprised by the lack of authenticity.

Comment by darkeningdawn

Just completed this quest as a 60 warlock. The only real difficulty I had with it was that many alliance players (and I'm sure it's like this for the alliance side as well, seeing as there are quests around that level there for them too) would pop up to attack me.

Recommended that you clear the area before you use the gem too, fyi. I was attacking a goo after I used the gem. The paladins didn't appear right away, so be careful of that.

Comment by FarseerLolotea

If you're doing this on a death knight, Death Gripping the anchorite as soon as he's in range will buy you a few stun-free seconds.

Comment by Unbroken98

Eheheh It was very easy for me ;)

Comment by phx08

Finished it in about 15 seconds on my 65 pally.

Comment by stratoinfernos

Pretty easy for me, level 62 demo lock, i ran in and cleared the area then i used them gem, they didn't appear for a few seconds but when they did they were easy. i only got my DoTs on the anchorite before my felguard finished him off, then it was easy to clear the (levels 68 and 69) pallys out.

Comment by Rominiust

Pretty simple quest for a level 61 Frost DK. Just put the gem down, sit around for about 1 minute and the quest guy only takes 1 Icy Touch and 1 Plague Strike to kill him. The other 2 are simple as well. Easy quest for good XP and some cash.

Comment by ButaDujo

At a 62 Hunter, I didnt have a fight. I used the gem, ran to 40,40 , and waited. Only the target walked forward, and I pulled him without his two buddies. He went down in 2 hits.

Comment by annitha

coordinates for altar 39,40

other comments are accurate...lay down stone wait, kill

If you are facing the road then they come from your right side...boss + 2...standing on the altar I didn't have any green bubbly stuff attack.

(I'm lvl 65 lock so that helped make it easy for me...hardest part was finding the altar)
